We are continuing our “best of” series this week with 4 more incredible past guests, diving deep into the mental side of golf and mindset in general.
As a follow-up to last week’s episode , our guests this week include a world renowned sports psychologist, a golf mental game coach, a duo that has worked with hall of fame golfers, and one of the most prominent peak performance coaches in the world.
I can’t think of a game or sport that can mess with your mind more than golf. And while many believe the key to playing better lies in hitting more shots on the range and working on the perfect swing, this episode (or better yet, this 2-part series) suggests that controlling your thoughts, emotions, and focus can override even the best technique when the pressure is on.
